Materials Available for Delivery
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.

Why Escalon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Escalon is a community with a city population of 11,740 and a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually. That modest, predictable growth typically translates into ongoing, incremental demand for home improvements, yard upgrades, and small-scale construction rather than sudden building booms. With 204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall in a USDA hardiness zone of 9a, local projects need materials that balance drainage and moisture retention: homeowners and contractors are focusing on durable hardscapes, erosion control, irrigation-friendly soils, and low-maintenance landscaping. Quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—matter here because they influence runoff management, compaction for driveways and pads, plant health for long dry stretches, and long-term durability for outdoor living spaces. Choosing the right blends and ordering accurate volumes reduces rework and keeps small projects on schedule. Escalon’s combination of substantial seasonal rainfall and many sunny days creates specific performance needs for aggregates and soils. Frequent sun increases evaporation during dry spells, while heavy rains can expose weak drainage or cause erosion in sloped yards; these conditions mean material selection must account for permeability, particle size, and placement rather than just appearance. For homeowners, that translates to prioritizing materials that improve drainage, resist washout, and support irrigation efficiency. Hello Gravel helps by connecting customers with local suppliers who understand these local conditions, offering tools to calculate quantities, and scheduling deliveries so you get the right materials at the right time for your site conditions.Popular Projects in Escalon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Escalon Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Escalon.
Start by matching material performance to the job: think about load (cars vs foot traffic), drainage needs, maintenance, and desired look. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates vary in stability, compaction, and appearance, so order a small sample or use our material quiz to compare options. If you are unsure, contact our team for a quick recommendation based on your project size and site conditions.
Escalon’s climate means you should balance dust control and runoff risk: dry heat increases dust and loose materials can get blown or tracked, while heavy rains can cause washouts and erosion. Choose materials and installation methods that improve compaction and drainage, and consider edging or geotextile to keep aggregates in place. Regional sourcing means color and texture may vary, so plan for local conditions.
Use a material calculator or our online tools to convert area and desired depth into cubic yards or tons; different materials have different densities so tonnage will vary. As a general rule, check the calculator and round up for waste and grading; if you prefer, contact our team with your dimensions and we can help estimate. We also recommend ordering a bit extra if the area is uneven or requires compaction.
Prices vary by material, local supplier, and distance, but delivered material-only costs in West California commonly range from about $25 to $75 per ton. Delivery fees, minimums, and seasonal demand can affect final cost, and installation or spreading is billed separately. Use our checkout to see transparent pricing for your zip code or contact sales for a detailed quote.
Many local suppliers and haulers do deliver to rural and unincorporated areas, but access restrictions can apply. Large dump trucks need adequate driveway width and a safe place to turn around; narrow roads, low-hanging lines, or steep slopes may require special arrangements or additional fees. Enter your zip code at checkout or call us so we can confirm delivery feasibility for your address.
Spring and fall are often ideal because temperatures are moderate and heavy rains are less likely, making compaction and finish work easier. Avoid scheduling big deliveries during extreme heat or forecasted storms, and book in advance during busy seasons when contractors and suppliers are busiest. We offer standard 2+ business day delivery and a next-day option for eligible orders to help meet your timeline.
Possibly—many driveway, paving, and exterior material changes can trigger city, county, or HOA rules. Check with Escalon city or San Joaquin County planning and your HOA (if applicable) before ordering materials, especially for changes that affect curb appeal, drainage, or impervious surface area. If you need help understanding local requirements, our team can point you toward common permitting resources.
Soil type, existing drainage paths, and slope determine how a material will perform: clay or poorly draining soils may need a compacted base and drainage amendments, while steep slopes require materials and edging that resist movement. Incorporate proper grading, geotextile, or retaining features to prevent washouts and settling. Share site photos when you request a quote so we can give practical recommendations for the local conditions.
A material-only order covers the aggregates and delivery to your site; the truck drops the load and the rest is up to you or your contractor. A supply-and-install quote bundles materials, labor, equipment, and sometimes compaction and cleanup into one price. Always ask for a line-item breakdown so you can compare material costs, delivery, and labor separately before deciding.
Choose well-graded materials and proper compaction to reduce dust and movement, and add edging or geotextile to stabilize areas prone to erosion. Design slopes and outlets to direct water to safe drainage points, and consider vegetation or mulch in adjacent areas to trap sediment. If dust is a concern, ask about products or stabilization techniques suitable for Escalon’s dry summers.
We have a 3-ton minimum and typically deliver by tri-axle dump trucks; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout and they will assess safety on arrival, but it is not guaranteed. Provide a clear drop zone, remove obstacles, and note any delivery instructions at checkout to help ensure a smooth drop.
Natural materials vary by region, so color, size, and texture may differ from photos; you can note color preferences at checkout, but an exact match is not guaranteed. Contact our team as soon as possible to change or cancel an order—changes are easier before dispatch and we will do our best to accommodate requests. If there is an issue with delivery or quality, contact customer service promptly so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
